If you’re lazy like I am, it can be difficult to know the truth about what’s really going on in this country.  The media lemmings always seem to head for the same cliff and jump off together.  On the way down, the scream that we’re all in serious trouble and need to Do Something™.  Then they hit the ground, dust themselves off, and find a new cliff.  One wonders if

John Hawkins over at Right Wing News has a fantastic poster up from WWII. Man, I’d love some kick-ass political propaganda to get everyone riled about fighting our maniacal enemy.  He says: Under far more difficult circumstances than we face today, against a much tougher enemy, with well more than a hundred times the lives lost, they persevered, preserved this nation’s freedom, destroyed our enemies, and paid the Japanese back

Here’s one now, and he’s likely to find himself on the wrong end of a fatwa for daring to speak of the hypocrisy that so much of the Western world finds an impolite topic of conversation. Islam gets concessions; infidels get conquered What they capture, they keep. When they lose, they complain to the U.N.

The medics could face the death penalty if found guilty by a court in Tripoli later this month. An international team analysed samples taken from the infected patients.

Eta is blamed for the deaths of more than 800 people since it began an armed struggle for Basque independence in

One of my oldest buds sent me this pic of a friend of his with some band that was passing through LA.  I thought I’d post it just for giggles.  I hope it’s not too drecky for you guys.

Via Malkin comes this story of Sheilas marching in their bikinis Down Under to protest the comments of the Imam who likened unveiled women to “uncovered meat.” You ladies ask, how can you show your tits solidarity?  Send your pics of yourself in a bikini to Jeff, and he’ll post them. That’ll teach those bastards. UPDATE: check out Thomas Foreman’s Hotties for Freedom Contest.  Because freedom isn’t free.  But it’s

I have the feeling that a one-winged dove is not going to last too long, though you might argue that it would fly in circles.  But maybe that’s just me. Answer ghosted here->“Edge of Seventeen,” by Stevie Nicks Note: as I said the first time, this is music lip-synched by drag-queens, not written or recorded by them.
